It's likely that there will always be a demand for an onsite PACS that does not require you to be permanently connected to the internet to view your medical imaging studies. While the benefits of a cloud PACS are real and very different than those of an onsite PACS, using both, an [onsite and cloud PACS](https://blog.purview.net/how-much-does-legacy-data-migration-cost-for-onsite-and-cloud-pacs) in their optimal manner can enhance your use of medical imaging and keep your costs under control. To get the best advantages from your onsite and cloud-based PACS, some medical practices have begun using cloud storage as a supplement to their existing PACS and vice versa. So, what are the advantages of keeping studies in the cloud and what are the factors that should play into your PACs architectural decision? ![Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png?width=45&name=Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png) [Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/blog/author/les-trachtman) [Read More](https://www.purview.net/blog/customized-cloud-pacs-for-your-specific-needs) ![](https://www.purview.net/hubfs/Images/Blog-Images/cloud-pacs-current-imaging-equipment.jpeg) ### [Will a Cloud PACS Work with My Current Imaging Equipment?](https://www.purview.net/blog/will-a-cloud-pacs-work-with-my-current-imaging-equipment) May 12, 2017, 1:56:35 PM If you're considering a migration to a cloud-based picture archiving and communication system (PACS), one of the first questions you may have is, "Will it work with my existing modalities and infrastructure?" Fortunately, in almost all cases, the answer is yes. These days, nearly every imaging modality has a network interface. This means that if your network has [internet access](https://blog.purview.net/for-a-cloud-pacs-how-fast-does-my-internet-access-need-to-be), enabling your modality to leverage that access is a straightforward task. Internet access is the facilitating factor for your ability to use the cloud as a PACS. Of course, there are several other considerations before moving into the cloud. ![Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png?width=45&name=Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png) [Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/blog/author/les-trachtman) [Read More](https://www.purview.net/blog/will-a-cloud-pacs-work-with-my-current-imaging-equipment) ![reselling-purview-pacs.jpeg](https://www.purview.net/hubfs/Images/Blog-Images/reselling-purview-pacs.jpeg) ### [The Financial Opportunity of Reselling Purview PACS](https://www.purview.net/blog/the-financial-opportunity-of-reselling-purview-pacs) May 7, 2017, 8:00:00 AM Traditionally, imaging modality equipment resellers haven't paid much attention to the picture archiving and communication system (PACS) that often operates along with their equipment. ![Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/hs-fs/hubfs/Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png?width=45&name=Les%20Trachtman%20Circle%20BW.png) [Les Trachtman, EE, JD, MBA](https://www.purview.net/blog/author/les-trachtman) [Read More](https://www.purview.net/blog/the-financial-opportunity-of-reselling-purview-pacs) ![transitioning-to-cloud-pacs.jpg](https://www.purview.net/hubfs/Images/Blog-Images/transitioning-to-cloud-pacs.jpg) ### [4 Things You Need to Know About Transitioning to a Cloud PACS](https://www.purview.net/blog/4-things-you-need-to-know-about-transitioning-to-a-cloud-pacs) May 6, 2017, 8:00:00 AM Once you have decided to make the switch from a traditional onsite picture archiving and communications systems (PACS) to a cloud-based PACS solution, there are a number of items you should be sure you are thinking through.
